It felt strange to not be cleaning house today – but I did go to work for about half an hour for Joe. On the way home I stopped to grab something for the family reunion on Saturday and my debit card wasn’t working. I stopped at the bank, and apparently there was suspected fraudulent activity so they froze the card. I’m so glad that my bank is quick on things like that, and protected my account.
After lunch (during which is was pouring!) Logan and I went outside to finally work on my two yard projects. It was pleasantly cool and the rain had stopped, so it was perfect. It took us two tries, but we got the second stepping stone in by the deck. I still need a few river rock to add around, but I’ll avoid the dust and mud.
Then Logan carried the HEAVY bags of pond stone down to the lilac bush, and we put plastic down and spread the stone. I also moved Snoopy to the right of the lilac, since eventually the lilac would grow and cover him up. It looks pretty good!
Logan helped me clean up, and was having fun with the hose (I’m sure those little squirts were accidental…). He went back in to play his games, and I finished weeding the bottom of the hill. That side is all done – sort of. All I have to do is walk into the house and come back out and there are more weeds! But generally speaking, it looks cleaned up. Next is the left side!
We have not decided if we are doing anything tonight. We postponed the mini golf until Friday because of possible rain. I just washed a load of clothes and I’m sure the next thing will be food.
August 10 – Tell about a time when you got lost. “Hazel & I went to bring in our 3 milking cows. We knew the one cow was ready to have her calf & we couldn’t find her. Hazel took the other 2 cows in to be milked & I went to see if I could find the cow. She was back by the big rocks. When I tried to find my way back I couldn’t figure which way to go. I followed the small creek & came out at DeHavens. I was probably 10.” I would have been scared. I don’t like not knowing where I am, or even where I’m going!
